Who Are These in Bright Array?

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 378 hymnals First Line: Who are these in bright array Lyrics: 1 Who are these in bright array, This innumerable throng, Round the altar, night and day, Hymning one triumphant song? "Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Blessing, honor, glory, pow'r, Wisdom, riches to obtain, New dominion ev'ry hour." 2 These through fiery trials trod, These from great affliction came; Now, before the throne of God, Sealed with His almighty Name, Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand, Through their dear Redeemer's might, More than conquerors they stand. 3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown, On immortal fruits they feed; Then the Lamb amidst the throne, Shall to living fountains lead; Joy and gladness banish sighs; Perfect love dispels all fears; And forever from their eyes God shall wipe away the tears. Amen.

Come, ye thankful people, come

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 737 hymnals Lyrics: Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest-home: All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin; God, our Maker, doth provide For our wants to be supplied; Come to God's own temple, come, Raise the song of harvest-home. All the world is God's own field, Fruit unto his praise to yield; Wheat and tares together sown, Unto joy or sorrow grown: First the blade, and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear: Grant, O harvest Lord, that we Wholesome grain and pure may be. For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take his harvest home; From his field shall in that day All offenses purge away; Give his angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast, But the fruitful ears to store In his garner evermore. Even so, Lord, quickly come To thy final harvest-home; Gather thou thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin; There, for ever purified, In thy presence to abide: Come, with all thine angels, come, Raise the glorious harvest-home. Amen. Topics: Thanksgiving Day Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

Alleluia! let the word sound from city, hill, and plain. 2 Alleluia! hark, the sound from the depths unto the skies, wakes above, beneath, around all creation's harmonies; see the Victor's banner furled; sheathed his sword, he speak--"Tis done!"-- and the kingdoms of this world are the kingdom of his Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole with illimitable sway; he shall reign when, like a scroll, yonder heav'ns have passed away; then the end: beneath his rod his last enemy shall fall; Alleuia! Christ in God, God in Christ, is all in all. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:24-25 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Great and Fair Is She

Author: William Watson Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: Great and fair is she, our land Lyrics: 1. Great and fair is she, our land, High of heart and strong of hand; Dawn is on her forehead still, In her veins youth’s arrowy thrill. Hers are riches, might and fame; All the earth resounds her name; In her roadsteads navies ride: Hath she need of aught beside? 2. Power Unseen, before whose eyes Nations fall and nations rise, Grant she climb not to her goal All-forgetful of the Soul! Firm in honor be she found, Justice-armed and mercy-crowned, Blest in labor, blest in ease, Blest in noiseless charities. 3. Unenslaved by things that must Yield full soon to moth and rust, Let her hold a light on high Men unborn may travel by. Mightier still she then shall stand, Molded by Thy secret hand, Power Eternal, at whose call Nations rise and nations fall. Used With Tune: ST.

Author: Robert Campbell Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath washed us in the tide Flowing from his pierced side; Praise we him whose love divine Gives his sacred blood for wine, Gives his body for the feast, Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest. 2 Where the paschal blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, Paschal Victim, Paschal Bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty Victim from the sky, Pow'rs of hell beneath thee lie; Death is conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light: Hymns of glory and of praise, Risen Lord, to thee we raise; Holy Father, praise to thee, With the Spirit, ever be.
